Shopping in Seville

One of the fun activities has been exploring the different markets around Seville. Aside from the phenomenally fresh produce, there are sights that prompt outbursts and questions from the kids.

Lamb brains. Lots of excitement around this, but we never did try it.
Interesting way to display the shark.
Stands like this are in every grocery/convenience store.
Chorizo – what you get in Toronto is nowhere near as good!
Fresh figs – SOOOO amazingly delicious. We had no idea figs could taste so good.
Padrón peppers. These are so tasty fried in a bit of olive oil until charred.
Rabbits sold whole. We didn’t try this either.
One of our favourite fruit and vegetable stands.
Lamb brains on the left, lamb tongue on the right.
Ostrich egg.
Our regular stop for merluza (hake) and other seafood.
The Spanish eat these raw – Nolan and I were given these to try but we prefer our shrimp cooked.
Clams – so tasty fried with some garlic and ginger.
The corner pescateria (fish shop).
Fruit for the day: flat peaches, nectarines, apricots, figs, and plums. We were extremely spoiled with the fresh produce.
Thomson and Thompson all-in-one store.

Looking back, it seems that we have a pretty strong focus on food 🙂
